I'll tell you what. If Christian doctrine is never allowed to play any role in American politics ever, then we won't talk about it here.

Besides, when someone hostile to Christianity comes into the CDT, you guys get very annoyed and say that's not the place for such discussions either.

So this is really just an attempt to constrain the discussion.

If a non-Catholic comes into the CDT they say there's no place for their opinions of beliefs in there.

Most modern "Activists" are honestly kinda pathetic.

On one hand, I've been seeing so much shit the past few days about how women should be going on sex strikes or shaming men for jerking it, but what they don't understand is that that's exactly what conservatives want! They hate the idea of out-of-wedlock sex and sexual liberation, part of the reason they hate abortion so much is because they view it as encouraging "slutty" behavior with no consequences. You're playing right into their hands.

On the other side, tons upon tons of women are just accepting it. "Yeah, better just prepare, nothing else we can do. *shrug*" Nothing else!? Really? There's nothing you can imagine doing in order to stand up for your bodily autonomy?

It's infuriating. FFS, Mexico got abortion legalized within a day of the government declaring they'd be keeping it illegal, and yet up here they can't even envision 1 action that could help keep it legal? Are you serious?

What does criminalizing abortion look like in terms of enforcing it? Is it a search warrant of her phone and computer to see what doctors and healthcare providers were sought out? Is it anyone she knows being interrogated about her menstrual cycle? Is it subpoena of insurance, travel, and bank records?

More or less. Mexico's abortion opponents weren't on the cusp of seizing dictatorial power and not needing to listen to the public on anything, they still had to bow to the masses. The main reason that nothing can be done is because the people who'd need to be swayed can't be by their opponents, only their increasingly angry and violent supporters.

1. Mexico's been in a state of dictatorship for its entire history. It was under the PRI's dictatorship when it got legalized, mainly because the citizens of Mexico City stormed and nearly burned down Los Pinos.

It can be done.

2. No, there's plenty of things that can be done, but I'm not allowed to post how on account of the site's stupid rules.

Some red states have already proposed keeping a watch list of women suspected of seeking abortion. Just police state 101 shit.

I'm looking into whether I should support or oppose the recent direction on abortion in the US. I had assumed that it'd keep being legal by default and this SCOTUS action blindsided me and I do see a lot of downsides. But it could also be very good. I might be able to get rich and more because of this brave new world we're entering. I'm a male though, so my stakes in this is less personal or significantly less.

There is a consequence; destroying a human life that they conceived just for fun. That's the point. Discarding an innocent human life just to enable hedonism is dystopian, and the fact you don't get that is even more dystopian.

There's nothing worth preserving in hookup culture.

You should oppose it because it's horrible.

But of course you'll support it because it's horrible.

There is debate on Stormfront whether this is better or worse for White America. That is what my loyalties are to. There is concern that we need abortion, else the non-White segments of the US are going to overtake the Whites even faster, because there is less preventing more births happening from women across the board getting pregnant from the sex they're going to have.

You don't need to be a National Socialist to be loyal to your own "in group" over other loyalties you find yourself attached to overtime. It just so happens that most neo-Nazis have similar worldview or sentiments to other race realists. Personal lives are quite complex.

You could actually question why it is everyone thinks you hate women, but that's not going to happen.

And you know why that's not going to happen. Because then it'll out you and you can't have that happen.

Like, in your very post that lead to this you outright admitted abortion should be illegal in order to punish women, and yet you view nothing misogynistic about that.
